Easy Apple Cider Vinegar Based Coleslaw Recipe
My grandmother used to make apple cider vinegar based coleslaw that was the highlight of every meal she served it at. It’s a classic side dish. It's a simple recipe made with fresh vegetables, and it delivers that same tangy flavor that makes it the best way to enjoy traditional coleslaw, without the heaviness of a creamy dressing.
